Mission Bay Bike Path - DART Recon Ride

I needed to check out all those other Bike Route/Paths that were included in the round-about way to get from USCD to downtown San Diego. It also traced the Stagecoach 400 route from downtown out to Lake Hodges, as part of the routes I made up for the June 1, DART shortie.

I plotted out a gpx file and put it in my Garmin 500. Maybe I could sort-of follow it on the "bread crumbs" tracker trail. I started the Bike Path route at UCSD and went tracking from there. It sort of worked... it shows a arrow and the arrow changes direction as you ride along the route OR get off the route. Better than nothing, but not much.

From Rose Canyon Bike Path and Santa Fe St., I went straight over to the Rose Creek Bike Path. Then jogged over to the Mission Bay Bike Path as it winds around Anza Cove, Fiesta Island and connects with the Sea World Bike Path. Then it's off looping around confused on Dana Landing and Quivera roads before crossing over the bridge and onto the Ocean Beach Bike Path.

Mission Bay Bike Path speed limit!

From Dog Beach, the route hits Brighton, Bacon, Sunset Cliffs streets and a big climb up Hill Street before ending up on Scott Street. From there pick up the Bike Way along Harbor Drive/waterfront to downtown San Diego. I did get turned around one time and took a scenic ride out to Shelter Island!

Looks like this route will work for a DART route. Nice way to get downtown instead of the shorter Mission Bay Dr./Pacific St traffic lanes!

keep lookin'
